Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening

Mechanics

Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening expands on the ideas introduced earlier in the series. The game is a turn-based strategy revolving around warfare. The player must build fortifications, train soldiers and officers, then use them in real-time battles.

Military alone, however, is not enough to succeed. We must also handle our economy, trade and diplomacy. One of the most important features are decrees, that shape the laws in controlled regions.

There are over 2,200 unique officers in the game - more than ever before. Each officer has their own personality and we can talk to them directly, to seek advice or to convince them not to leave our clan. Enemy officers can also be converted to our side.

The game was created as a celebration of the franchise's 40th anniversary, therefore many fan-favorite mechanics make a return here, such as officers, music, scenarios and custom clan creator.

There are also many new features as well. The most important is the Dominion System, letting us grant territory to characters in return for their . Such subordinates make most decisions on their own and often offer advice on how to strengthen our domain.
